Today's You've Gotta See This video comes straight from the home of my older sister, Gina, who was the number one spoiler of my children until she went and had a child of her own. My niece, Samantha, was 16 years in the making...a miracle none of us, least of all Gina, thought would ever arrive after more than a decade and a half of fertility trouble.

But here she is, the miracliest miracle that ever did miraculously appear in a mother's womb. (Okay, the conception of Jesus may have been more miraculous, but don't tell Gina that.) I love my niece for making our "favorite aunt" a mother at last, and I love the way she boogies down with her redneck self. You won't enjoy this video as much as I do (it's not possible, but feel free to try), but I guarantee you will enjoy it.

"After enjoying years of the 'Mother Load' I'm so excited to be able to get my fill more often. I love the awesome product reviews and have been convinced that I need the Perfect Brownie Pan! This blog is definitely bigger and better!"
--Heather, Gainesville, TX

"At the end of the day, when the kids are in bed, the frazzled hair has calmed, and the last toy is finally put away, there is little time for a mother to sit and enjoy herself. The Mother Load is just that kind of enjoyment--it makes us laugh and remember the odd, quirky, and blessed parts of life."
--Carrie, Yakima, WA

"What you write touches me. It softens my heart, opens my mind and has uplifted me just when I've needed it, even if I didn't KNOW i needed it. Not to mention your reviews which make me guffaw in glee!"

"Since I began reading The Mother Load my hair is full of bounce and shine, my teeth are whiter, there are no more unsightly stains on my carpet, my towels are fluffier, and my vegetables come out in perfect slices every time. My children play together beautifully and I no longer have sticky bathroom sinks or countertops. Thank you Mother Load!"
